FEARFUL PALESTINIAN TERRORIST GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HIDE FROM ISRAELIS

WEST BANK—As Israel moves forward on their offensive against the Hamas led terrorist Palestinian Authority, Hamas government officials run, and hide from Israeli's.

Mahmoud Ramahi a member of the Palestinian parliament, and a Hamas terrorist is hiding from Israel. He said “We have to take precautions. We don't want to be arrested by the Israelis.”

Ramahi, and his fellow Hamas Palestinian Authority colleagues have been in hiding, and on the move since Israel security forces arrested 24 Palestinian Hamas cabinet lawmakers, and eight Hamas Cabinet members on June 29. Israel said that all of those that they arrested were “members and activists in a terrorist organization.”

The Hamas led Palestinian government isn't much of a state, and never has been. Israel claims that their only objective is to fight a holy war against Israel, and seek to have Israel removed from the middle east.

The Hamas Palestinian government owes contractors about $1 billion, says the Palestinian Finance Ministry run by Hakem Yassin. The Palestinian Authority has no idea how its debts will ever get paid. About one-third of the ministry's employees who haven't been paid aren't showing up for work. Yassin says that “We are hoping the political situation will get much better. We are hoping.”

Israeli security forces raided the West Bank offices of charities that were tied to Hamas last week. They seized paperwork and computers. Israeli officials said that intelligence, and evidence found in the raids leads them to believe that the Palestinian Authority, to include those arrested by Israel have received donations through the sham charities that support Hamas in its bid to destroy Israel. Israeli spokesman said that if the Palestinian Authority would spend their time trying to form a state, instead of attacking Israel that they would not be at the brink of collapse.


The Palestinian Authority claims that they are suffering by sanctions imposed on them by people who don't understand Hamas. They claim that they have been unfairly called a terrorist organization, simply because their Charter calls for the total and complete destruction of Israel.

Palestinian parliament Secretary Ibrahim Khreisheh said that the parliament has met one time in the last two weeks. He claims that “The lawmaking process has stopped. There is no development, no planning.”

Palestinian lawmakers are discussing abandoning their government that is 12-years old, and forcing Israel to take over responsibility for the governing of the Palestinian West Bank. Abandoning statehood would be an option that would save countless of human lives. The Hamas charter calls for the total and complete destruction of Israel, but makes no mention of establishing a viable statehood for the Palestinian government.

The current Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory began after Hamas Palestinian terrorists kidnapped an Israeli soldier on June 25. Hamas Palestinians terrorists also began launching medium to long range rockets into Israel from the former Jewish settlements in Gaza. Government backed Hamas terrorists are demanding that Israel release Palestinian terrorists being held by Israel before they release the kidnapped Israeli soldier. Israel has replied that they do not negotiate with terrorists, and began their reoccupation of Gaza, and their current offensive that appears to have destroyed the Palestinian statehood.
